Aptamer encoded nanopores as single molecule sensors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)We have created a low noise, calibrated, molecular-scaled pore. The nanopore is formed either by micro-forge polishing or external penetration of the nanocavity sealed in the pipette terminal. The nanopore fabrication is ... -
Characterization [of] nucleic acids unwinding and exploring its application in miRNA detection in the nanopore
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of short (~14-27 nucleotides) noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Aberrant expression of miRNAs has been found in all types of tumors. Reverse ... -
Functional study of Kcv potassium channel through manipultion [sic] of individual subunits
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Potassium channels make up a ubiquitous, physiologically essential class of integral membrane proteins. Many K+ channels contain four identical symmetrically associated subunits. To explore the role of an individual subunit ...
